LinkedIn promises simplified profile-editing tools and easier ways to connect to other users with its new profile page redesign.

The new, more visual profile layout is meant to simplify the user experience and make it more useful daily, said Deep Nishar, senior vice president of products and user experience at LinkedIn. "We want to ensure that LinkedIn is working for our members -- even when they're not online," he said.

"We want to put the right business intelligence in front of the right member at the right time," LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner added.
